Well, for whatever version we require, i actually think if there were
serious bugs in 1.8.x, we should consider enforcing that we actually
have that minimal version (ant exposes a property for that). I think
its better to say 'you have the wrong version of ant, its not gonna
work' than to give a strange permgen/oom/wrong
packaging/miscompile/... of course if the bugs only affect some
special thing (particularly an undocumented task like a hudson one),
then maybe we don't need to go that far.
